Bo-Bo Knows Gratitude for Vicarious Vacation Bliss

Bo-Bo Knows Gratitude for Unexpected Visitors
This morning I can't stop looking at the horse—yes, horse—in my neighbor's backyard. I stumbled from my bed a bit groggy but not so out of it that I failed to wonder what use my neighbors had for ...more

Bo-Bo Knows Gratitude for Tea
Some fanatics will tell you it's all about the ritual, but I think tea's simpler than all that. When I make my daily cup(s) of Bigelow's Plantation Mint black tea, I boil water and plop a bag in wi...more

So many people!! All I want for Christmas (and maybe this is a Christmas 2009 wish) is 500 people. The way I figure it is this--if every person gets two people to sign up, I'm golden. What? Why are you all laughing?

Happy New Year, all! Bo's at my side snuggling my hand. That either means, me too, or take me the heck out!! You decide.

What a great blog! Funny and astute.

Thanks for introducing it to me as well as to Facebook's blog network.

And yeah, I really needed to get someone to edit that "about" page on mine. (Though I am thinkin' of calling my next blog "Tongue and Check." ;) )

Thanks to everyone who's joined so far. I just need two more confirmations of my authorship to be legal...and five more fans to get my blog into the beta feed!
